Interview with Angela Edwards

Death Shrine To The Holy Whore, Part 4 - Meta.Morf Trondheim art biennale, Norway

Death Shrine To The Holy Whore, Part 4 - Meta.Morf Trondheim art biennale, Norway

“Life is too short to care what other people think about you or your work.”

The first time I meet Angela Edwards is in London earlier this year. We are both participating in an esoteric art event, which is taking place inside an old tower that once used to be a church. In the top floor of this tower Angela has built a bizarre altar to Pomba Gira. Whoever makes it up here, is confronted with a highly controversial set-up.

Interview with CM Vaenvs Obscvra, aka Hatred Engine Graphics

I got in touch with CM about a year ago. Since then we exchanged messages, traded art-prints for seeds and figured it would be time for an interview.

Beside art, two topics are of major concern to CM – one are his plants and the other is his cat. Whereby the cat is of the greater importance and he often expresses fear of his cat suffering accidental poisoning via the venific green – the first of a row of conflicts that keep my interview-partner busy.

Hi Cristi. How is your cat doing?

Interview with Samuel Araya

Interview with Samuel Araya, illustrator and designer, July 2012

Greetings Samuel! How are you and what have you been up to?

Hello Xonia, I’m doing good! I was just about to start working on a couple of CD covers that I have pending for the first week of August. Also, the morning was freezing cold, a rare thing in these parts, but an auspicious beginning nonetheless.

As an introduction to our readers, please give us a brief description of your work…

I have been working as a professional illustrator for about 10 years now, mostly for gaming companies. I have been doing art for role-playing & board games, as well as some occasional work for video game companies. From time to time I have the luck of collaborating with some bands within the Metal genre. These bands include: Cradle of Filth, Elvenking, Darkmoor, Imbalance, Eye of Judgment and Sabaoth. I have been featured in a couple of annuals, including “Spectrum 13: The Best in Contemporary Fantasy and Sci-fi Art“, “Gothic Art Now“, “Vampire Art Now” and a couple more.
